Abstract
The rotator cuff, a musculotendinous unit that acts in combination with the deltoid to allow elevation of the shoulder, is a frequent source of pain and disability. In addition, the rotator cuff maintains the humeral head centered on the glenoid and opposes the superior translatory and shearing forcKeywords
